RICE COOKER JAMBALAYA



Rice Cooker Jambalaya image

By making this in a rice cooker, you can avoid burning the rice and having to watch the pot. Make sure your rice cooker is at least a 6 cup capacity or cooked product won't fit. If you like your vegetables crisper or don't want to take the time, you can skip the sautéing step; just melt the butter before adding to the rice cooker. Also, if you don't like diced tomatoes increase the chicken broth to 4 cups and use a 5 oz can of tomato paste in place of the diced tomatoes.

JAMBALAYA WITH SAUSAGE (RICE COOKER RECIPE)



Jambalaya with sausage (rice cooker recipe) image

Rice Cooker version of Jambalaya was adapted from a recipe from The 100 Greatest Dishes of Louisiana Cookery. I made quite a number of changes from the original recipe according to my family's tastes, ingredient availability and cooking method in order to cook it in a rice cooker.
